HERMETIC FEEDTHROUGH FOR SPACE Positronic Industries OR INDUSTRIAL VACUUM APPLICATIONS What Makes Positronic's Interface a Significant Improvement? High reliability connectors utilize female closed entry contacts that provide an unbroken ring of solid material at the face of the contact. The closed entry feature is crucial in preventing damage to female contacts used in harsh environments, repeated mating cycles, blind mate applications and applications requiring highest reliability. "Split line" contact design The most common closed entry design utilized by a split tine and sleeve concept. See...

HERMETIC FEEDTHROUGH FOR SPACE OR INDUSTRIAL VACUUM APPLICATIONS Positronic Industries continued from previous page . . . The PosiBand® contact system has many advantages over the legacy split tine design. PosiBand is more robust than split tine contact, which can be pried open in harsh environments, resulting in reduced normal force and degradation of electrical performance. J( PosiBand has greater surface area at the male and female contact interface, resulting in more consistent electrical performance. PosiBand has lower average insertion forces, resulting in greater ease in mating, especially...
